Chinese dance recital costume






We were very, very proud of Coral today!  She did everything (almost) that Amy asked her to do. She even stood in the line and participated in the dance portion of the class.  This is the recital part.  Up until today, she really only did it at home. It's like something clicked with her today. The girls got to rehearse in their costumes. Everyone looked adorable!  She won't have on orange pants during the recital.  Next week is "boot camp" when the girls demonstrate how they've progressed.  It looks like she MIGHT make it to the recital. Her performance next week is a big factor.  Her teacher is hopeful.   The only bad thing is that she will miss her cousin's birthday party.  We were hoping to make it to both, but due to class being rescheduled to 10:00-11:30 and due to the distance we're not able to.  If we don't go to class, then she can't be in the recital.  Bill and I want to do as much as much possible with family now that we're in Wisconsin.  I got a new camera so I'm just learning how to use it.  It's got a smile detector..automatically takes a picture of smiling faces, face detector(i can set to detect a face like Xing Xing's) , double anti-shake and I don't know what else.  I've got to show Bill how to use it too.  I'm also going to attach 4 short videos.  The first 2 are about 40 seconds each.  The last 2 are about 10 seconds. 
Be sure to check out her doing her "table top" by herself!

  1. Cute costumes...the top is a little revealing in the back! Tell Bill the practice will go smoother if he is doing the dance besides her...LOL
